Who ever said \"It\'s all in who you know\" was right.

The recent survey should cause the entertainment industry professionals to stand up
and take notice and redefine where they focus their efforts when trying to capture
entertainment industry jobs.

The internet came in a low second with 16% of the vote, responding to industry ads
was third with 11% and cold calling being dead last with only 1%.

John Bogdanski of www.networkinghollywood.com , leading networking expert commented
that this poll demonstrated the importance of having a networking system.

Most entertainment industry jobs came from networking, but only a very few
entertainment industry professionals\' have a networking program in place.

The 5 most common networking mistakes made when trying to capture entertainment
industry jobs and how to fix them:

1.) Not have a networking mind set.
Get in the habit of asking people you meet for their contact information.

2.) Not taking advantage of existing relationships.
Partner with your existing contacts who already network to the entertainment
industry and share contacts.

3.) Not staying in contact with your list.
Send networking cards to your list of both professional and personal contacts.

4.) Hiding in your office.
Get out and meet people. The more people you meet the more powerful your networking
becomes.

5.) Producing mediocre work.
Be \"network worthy\". Ultimately people talk about people who have exceeded their
expectations.

Based upon the survey you people looking for entertainment industry jobs, should
reconsider how they currently pursue their careers and start thinking a solid,
personal touch will get them farther than any other method.

John Bogdanski studies the effect of networking on the entertainment industry and
published his results in a free monthly newsletter titled \" Networking Hollywood
success\'s and horror stories\".
